Beast Taming: Becoming a Bug-type Elite Four Member Starting with Silkworm Raising

Chapter 31 Velvet StrengtheningChapter 31 Velvet Strengthening
”The first molt of the Ash Fire Serpent, the spine of the immature Flying Lizard, and the mutated rhizome of the black rose... there are really a lot of good things here.”

After spending almost half an hour browsing several rows of storage shelves, Russell once again marveled at the unfathomable heritage of the Beast Control Alliance.

This warehouse contains breeding materials below the fifth level, and the fifth level of life energy is already the maturity level of many gold-level pet beasts. It covers a wide range, so the variety is quite rich.

The opportunity to obtain cultivation materials was rare. Russell was dazzled for a moment. He felt that every material was very good and he didn’t know how to choose.

”Ayou, how about you make your own choice...”

After struggling for a long time with no result, Russell gave the choice to Ayou.

Although animal masters have systematically studied and can effectively plan the feeding and exercise of their pets in daily cultivation, at some critical times, biological instincts are more accurate than rational analysis.

It’s not that Russell is too biased, it’s just that Ayou is his main combat power now and will evolve soon. Compared with Da Dao Mantis, who has fully reached maturity and is still early to evolve to the fourth level, Ayou needs this nurturing more. Material.

As for Daodao Mantis’s portion, I’ll definitely do it next time!
Huhu——

I want that!

Within a few seconds after coming out of the beast control space, Ayou flapped his wings and stopped directly on a sealed box placed in the corner.

Russell followed it and took a closer look. What was contained in the box turned out to be a semi-ripe travel beetle pupa.

This is a very rare pet beast with dual attributes of insect and plant. Even Russell, who read the insect encyclopedia when he had nothing to do, could only vaguely remember the name. He had to take out his mobile phone and search for it before he learned about travel. Beetle details.

The growth pattern of the travel beetle is somewhat similar to the modern Cordyceps sinensis, but it is not passive parasitism, but actively selected symbiosis.

In the larval stage, the traveling beetle will plant a seed of the black iron-level plant beast Monsoon Dandelion in its own body. When it matures and pupates, the traveling beetle will allow the seed to take root and sprout from its energy-enhanced body. Form a symbiosis.

Relying on the dandelions growing out of its back, the originally slow-moving traveling beetle can migrate around on the monsoon winds, which is where it gets its name.

The travel beetle pupa contained in the sealed box seems to be a dead pupa formed when the monsoon dandelion grew too fast during the pupation process and absorbed too much energy, causing the beetle to fail to break out of its shell.

Normally, when this happens, the dead insect pupa will soon decompose or become food for other pet beasts. However, shortly after this pupa failed to break out of its shell, it happened to be discovered by a beast master adventuring in the wild. After sealing and insurance processing, it was finally transported back to the incubation material warehouse in Senluo City.

”Hello, I will choose this material.”

Seeing that Ayou’s attitude was very firm, Russell decisively chose this box of traveling beetle pupae.

Although compared to the breeding materials produced by some gold-level pet beasts, this pupa produced by bronze-level pet beasts seems a bit shabby, but Russell does not feel that it is a pity.

After all, cultivation is not about stacking high-level abilities blindly, but simply pursuing rare bloodlines and those suitable for pet beasts are the best.

…………

Russell quickly returned to the insect house with the packaged prize.

Incubation materials that leave their original environment or sealed box will lose energy quickly, and the effect will be reduced almost every minute, so he does not dare to delay.

The energy of the breeding material is known for its gentleness. As long as it does not conflict with the pet’s own attributes, no additional preparation is required when eating it. Simply make a hole in the pupa shell, and Russell quickly asked Ayou to drink it.

After sucking up the slightly fishy liquid in the pupa, Ayou showed a very satisfied look. It exuded a light brown light and lay quietly on the wooden shelf next to it, absorbing the energy in the breeding material.

Not long after, Russell also felt a sudden surge of warm energy surge into the beast-controlling space.

However, this energy was quite mild, and apart from the feeling of being overstuffed, he didn’t feel much discomfort.Because the travel beetle’s bloodline level and life energy level were very low, it only took about ten minutes for Ayou to completely digest the energy in it.

When Ayou stretched its wings again and flew around the store, Russell couldn’t wait to observe its changes.

”UFO Hawkmoth

Growth progress: 33%

Among them, insect energy accounts for 16%, ghost energy accounts for 12%, and spiritual energy accounts for 5%.

Body Transformation: Velvet Strengthening (There is a chance of awakening during the next evolution, the current success rate is 3%)
For every 1% of plant energy contained in the body, the villi density and awakening success rate increase by 5%.

Every time you dodge a wind attribute attack of the same level at close range, your floating ability and awakening success rate increase by 0.1~1%.

For every 1% of the poison energy contained in the body, the paralysis toxin effect of the fluff and the awakening success rate increase by 5%.”

After absorbing the pupa of this traveling beetle, Ayou’s growth progress remained almost unchanged, but there was an additional column of ”body transformation” in its information.

This is the magic of breeding materials. The changes it brings are not to comprehend skills or improve levels, but to act on a certain part of the body, bringing new characteristics or forms to the pet beast.

Of course, changes in the body will naturally have an indirect effect on skills. For example, Ayou’s awakening fuzz enhancement can bring considerable improvements to Dark Scale Pink and Butterfly Shadow skills.

For moth pets, scale powder and fluff are actually equally important, and their functions are not much different. However, the racial talent of the UFO Hawkmoth is linked to scale powder, so the presence of fluff becomes lower.

This time, Ayou’s awakened plush enhancement includes a total of three abilities, plush density, floating ability, and plush paralysis toxin.

Among them, the density of velvet can slightly improve its defense, and at the same time provide support for other velvet-related abilities. After all, if the velvet is sparse and there are not many at all, then other velvet abilities cannot be used.

The floating ability mostly refers to the defensive skills that low-level plant-type pets like Monsoon Dandelion rely on to survive. Due to its well-developed hair and light body, when there is airflow nearby, Monsoon Dandelion will automatically dodge according to the direction of the airflow.

Except for a few natural enemies, it is not easy for other pet animals to catch a monsoon dandelion.

With the dodge effect provided by Butterfly Shadow and the floating ability, it would be difficult for attacks like spike strafing to threaten Ayou.

As for the velvet paralysis toxin, it is better to understand. The velvet of many moths and butterfly pets is poisonous in itself. The velvet of the UFO Hawkmoth also has weak shadow toxin, but it is too thin, so it cannot be an effective drug. defense.

If Ayou’s fluff can have a strong paralyzing toxin, when facing a melee opponent, the completely scaled fluff will be spread together, directly inflicting a bunch of abnormal conditions on the unwary opponent.

Taken together, although the traveling beetle’s pupa does not bring much powerful abilities to Ayou, it makes up for its current shortcomings to a large extent.

Creatures have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. In the previous battle, Ayou almost suffered a loss due to lack of dodge and defense capabilities. It is no wonder that it took a fancy to the breeding material at a glance.

What’s even more rare is that due to the effect of the ”Cocoon of Evolution” talent, the cultivation of these three abilities can be controlled and selected.

If you don’t want Ayou to be like a monsoon dandelion, able to float far away when the breeze blows, Russell can control the cultivation of floating ability to about 30%, which is enough to assist dodge.

Although the villi density and paralysis toxin themselves have no side effects, improving these two abilities requires retaining the energy of the plant and poison systems in Ayou’s body during evolution, and he cannot be greedy for too much, otherwise it will excessively affect the share of insect and ghost energy. Compared, putting the cart before the horse, the gain outweighs the loss.

After thinking about it for a while, Russell felt that it should be the safest plan to cultivate the floating ability to 27%, and then divide the other 70% of the space equally between the villi density and the paralysis toxin, accounting for a total of 14% of the energy.
